Q
Theorem
A
In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal and opposite angles are equal
2
Q
Given
A
A parallelogram ABCD
3
Q
Required to prove
A
|AB| = |DC| and |AD| = |BC|
|
4
Q
Construction
A
Draw the diagonal [BD] and mark in angles 123 and 4
5
Q
Proof
A
In the triangles ABC and BCD
|<1| = |<3| … alternate angles and AB||DC
|<2| = |<4| … alternate angles
|DB| = |DB| … common side
.: 🔼’s ABD and BCD are congruent …ASA
.: |AB| = |DC| and |AD| = |BC| … corresponding sides
